Cartoons (Hardcover)

The Mastering Art series is designed to encourage enjoyment of a variety of arts and crafts. These books supply basic information for novices to the subject and provide further tips and ideas for those readers who already have some knowledge of the subject. Cartoons is about having fun and developing a skill at the same time. This book introduces different kinds of cartoons and the wide range of materials that can be used for cartooning. Great drawing skill is not required--many cartoons are based on just simple lines. Collage, a French word meaning pasting and gluing, can go beyond the limitations of paints and brushes. It makes use of ready-made materials, combining them in new and imaginative ways. Beginning with a guide to tools, techniques and materials, this book will guide the reader through a series of projects to develop skills for creative picture-making.
